Principle for UX Design

- [Tom] Well, hello there. My name is Tom Green, and I'd like to welcome you to UX Design Tools: Principle. As user experience assumes an increasingly important role in our UX work, the ability to prototype our designs that contain interactivity and motion which communicate our intent, has given rise to a whole new genre of design tools, prototyping applications, and Principle is one of them. Principle is a Macintosh-only application that is rapidly becoming a go-to prototyping tool among UX designers. In this course, we will start by familiarizing ourselves with the Principle interface. Then we will explore how Principle's timeline and drivers allow you to explore motion, interactivity and even transitions between art boards. With those fundamentals out of the way, we're going to spend some time examining how assets are created and added to Principle and how cropping and masking works. And we wrap it up by undertaking some common prototyping tasks, which I call practical Principle projects. So let's increase our UX design skills and start prototyping with Principle.
